Definitley not a grade 3 AC Separation…ribs are bruised with a simple, small hairline fracture in one.  Not displaced.  Thought is that Tyler may only “miss 1 game…it’s kind of a feel thing with the AC joint.”  
Hopefully he responds well to treatment and is truly ready by USC…not really holding out any hope for Stanford – 2 weeks would be…[Read more]

Broken rib and an AC separation.  I was worried about a clavicle…ribs can be tricky but a lot of times it’s almost purely pain mgmt after a few weeks (depending on the break).  Gonna depend on how that shoulder feels…hopefully sooner than later but probably out for a while longer than we want.

Just a quick shout out to BadFlag.com…advertisement at the bottom.  I won one of these for the pick em’s contest two weeks ago…no other connection.
Full size flag pole that attaches to your vehicle.  Will hold up to freeway speeds and beyond and handles a full size flag.  
Ordered it because it was “A MAJOR AWARD” and it shipped and…[Read more]

I can’t remember a game against these guys that we didn’t sustain a handful of significant injuries.  Might be a testament to Sitake…might just be that we’re a hell of a lot more athletic than they seemed to be but nothing major last night.  
We did suffer a “little knick” at the end of the game last night.  Not sure if you noticed but Chase…[Read more]

I’m always been facinated by the numbers so I watch them in depth weekly…two weeks ago BYU was a 3 point favorite.  Home field typically provides a 3 point add.  So a toss up on a neutral field which most of us could probably accept with a new offense and significant roster turnover coming in.

Last night the line was down to BYU -1.5, This…[Read more]

Troy Taylor – great start for him…imaginative offense with a ridiculous amount of variation, formations and scheme.  Good luck preparing for this…it’s all about alignment…you go here – we’ll go there.  He walked into the offensive meeting yesterday and reiterated “it doesn’t matter what they do, how they line up, where they bring pressure…[Read more]

Thats one hell of a recruiting coup.  Florida Gatorade player of the year in Huntley.  As nervous as I am about this decision I just asked myself how I felt about the other two.
Moss is a beast and our lead back this year.  Not one of us is afraid of him in that role.
Simpkins is also very impressive, has earned a starting spot and I’ve been…[Read more]

The more I think about it…If it is truly a close competition then maybe give them each a half against N Dakota.  It might be a little risky from a momentum standpoint, but throw them in against live bullets against a respectable (but lower division) opponent and see who shines.  Perform in front of a packed house…lets see who takes the job…[Read more]

Here’s what I’ve learned…combination of multiple conversations so who knows how accurate.  Most of it makes sense though.
Bernard reached out to Ena immediately upon being told he was out for the year.  
Washington – Chris Peterson has reached out somehow to Bernard
He wanted to go to Utah after his mission but the Sitake-Poly connection was…[Read more]

Jay Drew quoting his older brother in tonight’s SLTrib article.  Interesting to see what Sitake does after stating that Utah St should let the kid from East (don’t know his name) transfer to BYU.  
Bernard wanted to transfer to Utah after his mission but stayed to play for Sitake.  

Part 2.  
LB’s – Kavika and Sunia work well together.  Really think behind that line they’ll have a chance to be good.  Both Seniors with confidence after a year under their belt. So do Thompson and Barton with the twos – those two guys can flat out run and love to hit.  Barton looks like a completely different player out there.  Confident and…[Read more]

Got to see the scrimmage today – wasn’t fully live except for the 3’s so just went to bump and then backed off.  As mentioned below it sounds like Shyne went down Wednesday with a broken bone (arm).  Out for a little.  Moss looked very good and had taken over the 1 spot previous to the injury but when it really matters in the PAC12 we’ll get a…[Read more]
